2008 NZDG Match-play Championships
December 6 & 7
Rotovegas Redwoods

What a weekend .. stunning weather and 18 baskets in the Rotorua Redwoods .. the scene was set for a memorable National Match-play Championship.

With top 16 2008 Tour finishers Joe ‘Fish’ Seebeck and Speedo Keene not able to make the Rotorua weekend it opened the door to Andrew Taylor at 17 and at 20 to make the competition proper (Jack Turner at 18 and Mark Hamilton at 19 had Ultimate commitments) .. We also had the top 4 Women playing their own event and 4 extras who held a match-play round robin tournament of there own as well.

Match-play is a great form of the game and sees competitors taking a totally different approach to the way they play. In previous years only a few had come to grips with the match-play format but this year pretty much everybody seemed to have a handle on it, which saw most matched going to the wire.

Congratulations to all who took part and to Simon Feasey and Fiona ‘Ming Ca-ching’ Menzies for taking out their respective competitions.
